Carlos came to WLFJ to shop and met a volunteer who invited him to attend her church. He’s been walking with the Lord, attending church regularly, and was recently baptized at his new church. It was a tremendous blessing for Carlos to find a church family. It was a beautiful encouragement for the volunteer to see her service at WLFJ and her church blend into one.
It seems that in our Johnston County building, God has been at work meeting unusual medical needs. Annie was recently in an accident and needed several different medical supplies. The volunteers were able to meet every request. Valerie came wearing a surgical boot. As she was shopping, the volunteer in receiving–not aware of the need– noticed a surgical boot in the warehouse and decided to place it in the bonus area. Valerie was wearing a boot that was too small but she couldn’t afford another one. She spotted this one in bonus and it was a perfect fit. Amazing God!!
Recently on a Sunday in Johnston County there were so many donations to give away that we had to extend outside the building. Honored guests were blessed to hunt and pick among the bonus items to receive more treasures to take home. It was especially fun for us to remember back more than 19 years ago to our small beginnings. Serving the community from our garages and often using yard sale signs to draw people is exactly how WLFJ began! The Body of Christ–then and now–had many opportunities to talk and share for an extended time with honored guests.
She was dressed in her business attire and came into the Johnston County facility at the end of a public day. The resource needed on this day was prayer. For weeks as she shopped for essentials for her family she had also had volunteers pray for her a job. On this day, she had a job interview. She left the prospective employer and came straight to receive prayer. We love watching those God sends to us get on their feet and move ahead with Jesus and a new future.
Iris is dealing with debilitating back pain and asked for prayer. Heather recently had a stoke and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She has many surgeries ahead of her but was very thankful for those who prayed for her. Many of our honored guests are dealing with huge health issues. We are very thankful to be able to take these needs to our Great, Almighty, Healing God!
Ellen was in prison. As a young mother she witnessed her husband abusing her small children. She felt helpless to stop it and cried out to God for her children’s protection. A teacher at school discovered their secret. Her husband went to prison, but so did Ellen. For the next four years she only saw her children when they came with their social worker once a month. As time neared for her to be released, a volunteer at the prison told her about WLFJ. Each week she would come to WLFJ to shop but on Saturdays she would come to serve.
Help us feed and provide holiday blessings to more than 4,000 families before Christmas by supporting one of our golfers! We will have a golf marathon on November 29th, and you can pledge money that will go towards providing food and clothing to out honored guests.
Cedar Productions Studio did their annual fundraiser and tithed from their proceeds to WLFJ. They decided to take the tithe and purchase needed food items to bless our Johnston County outreach. As the volunteer was shopping for the food, she miscalculated the amount of goods she could purchase and at the checkout had to set a large number of items aside. As she and the cashier were chatting, she shared that she was buying it for WLFJ. The lady in line behind her told her to keep the items and she would pay for them. We received nearly double what we should have as a result of God’s amazing redeeming of a “mistake” and blessing back Cedar Productions Studio for being a vessel of blessing to us.
Barb and Allen shopped at WLFJ three years ago when they were going through a hard time. Allen had lost his very good job and was not able to find anything to replace it. He now has a job that […]
A volunteer text me on Christmas Eve to thank me for being obedient to the
Lord to expand into Johnston County. She served on the 21st, our last day
before Christmas. Her family has experienced many difficult things. She said
that as she served others and listened to the beautiful good news of the Gospel,
she experienced a fresh understanding of the deep love of God in her own life
and a sweet reminder of His great provision for her. […]
